Input Select:
Inputs 3, 4, and 5 of the display are reserved for TVP-500F if this card is installed. Below are
signal assignments for each input:
- Input 3: HDMI A
- Input 4: HDMI B
- Input 5: TV/FM, Composite Video, S Video, and RGBHV / YPbPr.
Both Pioneer and Aurora remotes (IRC-10) can be used to switch inputs.
Switching input using Pioneer remote:
-Press number 3 or 4 to switch to HDMI A or HDMI B respectively.
-Press number 5 to switch to TV/FM, Video, S Video, or RGB/YPbPr.
Switching inputs using Aurora remote:
-Press Plasma, then 3 or 4 to switch to HDMI A or HDMI B respectively.
-Press Plasma, then 5 to switch to TV/FM, Video, S Video, or RGB/YPbPr.
-
Since input 5 of the display is used to display different input signals from TVP-500F, these input signals
(Video, S Video, and RGB/YPbPr) can be selected using Aurora remote (the green buttons). Switching
between TV and FM can be done by using TV and FM buttons. Make certain to press TVP button first
to control the TVP-500F functions.
Note: RGB and YPbPr inputs share the same connection (VGA) and only one source can be connected
at a time. Pressing RGB / YPbPr button will toggle between RGB and YPbPr inputs. The last input
signal will be saved when changing to a different input and when this button is pressed again, the last
saved input will be selected.

8 Troubleshooting
Symptom Checks
Key on remote is pressed but
nothing happens
See if the upper LED of TVP-500F is fast-blinking while
pressing any key and aiming remote at IR sensor on
Plasma Display. If it is not -– check the batteries in the
remote.
Make sure the remote is in TVP mode (by pressing TVP
button on the upper left corner of the remote).
After existing the Main Menu, make sure there is a 3 to 5
seconds delay before any IR is sent out.
No RS-232 communication Check baud rate is set to 9600. Cable may need to be
nulled.
RDS Info does not display Poor reception will cause dropped characters from the RDS.
Also, not all stations broadcast RDS.
Cannot switch to a particular TV
channel using channel +/-
browse keys.
The channel is selectable by browsing keys only if it is
marked as “valid”. To be marked as “valid” the channel must
have a good TV signal during the “Tune Channel” operation.
Repeat the Tune Channel (making sure aerial/cable
connection is good). Also the channel validity can be edited
manually.
The two LEDs located on the TVP-500F indicate the current state of TVP-500F and may be useful for
troubleshooting.
During the startup (after powering on) the LEDs blink as the unit goes through self-test procedures and
firmware booting. If, after connecting the power, LEDs do not show any activity, then probably there are
problems with the power supply.
If the LEDs blink in alternative pattern -- upper/lower/upper/lower/etc – then the bootblock is active and
no valid main firmware is detected or it’s somehow corrupted. This can happen if, for instance, the
preceding firmware update procedure was aborted for some reason. The bootblock waits for the new
firmware upload, see the “Firmware update” section of this document.
During the normal functioning of TVP-500F (when a valid firmware is loaded and self-test and startup
procedures are finished, which takes about 2 seconds), the LED functions are:
Upper LED:
•Flashes for 50ms once in 6 seconds when TVP-500F is attached to power supply, but
is in “Power Off” (“sleep”) state. Flashes for 50ms once in 3 seconds when TVP-
500F is in “Power On” state. This activity can be overridden by other activities of
the same LED.
•Blinks fast when IR signal are detected. This can be used to see whether TVP-500F
receives any IR control packets or not. This does not mean that TVP-500F
recognizes any IR command.
Lower LED:
•Switches ON when a control packet is sent through the RS-232. Switched OFF when
a valid reply to the control packet is received back. Therefore, if this LED is ON for
a long time, probably there are problems with the Panel Connection (or Panel power
supply).
The upper LED has also another purpose – if the TVP-500F encounters an internal irrecoverable error, it
stops all activities and starts blinking the upper LED in series (series of blinks, then a longer delay, then
the series of blinks is repeated, so on).
16

TVP-500F Installation Manual
9 Firmware and Startup Picture update
The internal software of TVP-500F (the firmware) can be updated. This may be necessary to fix errors in
previous releases of the firmware, or to enhance functionality. The similar procedure is used to update the
“logo picture” that can be shown by TVP-500F for a predefined time after power on.
For the update procedure the serial port of the TVP-500F must be connected to the RS-232 (“COM”) port
of a PC-compatible personal computer, running MS-Windows 98, 2k, or XP operating system.
Update procedure
1. Connect the Plasma to a PC using a 9pin-to-9pin RS232 cable.
2. Use the AXLdr.Exe utility to upload firmware or logo picture. This utility is a Win32 command
line (console) application. It can be run from within any application that allows specifying
command line (the simplest example is Windows Start\Run dialog). The command line syntax is:
AXLdr.Exe <port_number> <filename>
where
<port_number> is a COM port number to which the TVP-500F is connected (1-based,
that is, for COM1 this number is 1).
<filename> is the path and name of the file to be uploaded. Must be either *.BMP file
(bitmap) or *.ATF (TVP-500F firmware) file.
Example command line to load new bitmap file or to update the Firmware:
C:\TVP500F\AXLdr.Exe 1 logo1.bmp
C:\TVP500F\AXLdr.Exe 1 TVP500F.ATF
In this case, COM1 port is used to upload the new logo (logo1.bmp) or the new FW (TVP500F).
After the successful update, the TVP-500F firmware will restart automatically.
Note: to upload a file or a newer Firmware to TVP-500F, the loader (AXLdr.exe) and the file must
be stored in the same directory.
If the loaded firmware image is not valid (its header or checksum do not match the expected), this
firmware will not be loaded upon startup. Instead, the unit will remain in bootblock, which will wait
for the new firmware image to be uploaded again. This is indicated by LEDs “alternate” blinking
low/high/low/etc.
File format for logo picture BMP file
AXLdr.Exe supports conversion and loading of standard 24-bit unpacked RGB MS *.BMP files. The
recommended picture size is 852x480 pixels (width is 852 pixels, height is 480 pixels). Only one
picture can be uploaded and used as logo.
